Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Services
Whether you hold ESOPs, issue them, or leave them behind, Vestbox helps you make confident decisions about their actual value and what to do next. No guesswork. No hidden levers.

Who is this for?
ESOPs look different depending on where you sit. We built our service around three real situations.
Current Employee
You hold ESOPs and want to know what they're realistically worth, when to exercise them, and how much tax you'll actually pay before any exit.
Founder or Employer
You're issuing ESOPs and need to set up the plan right, stay compliant, manage the cap table, and run buybacks without creating a mess for your team.
Ex-Employee
You've left the company with vested options and a ticking exercise window. You need to decide fast, exercise or walk away, and what either one costs you.
Explore before you decide
Run your own numbers first, or go straight to the guide that answers your specific question. Everything below is free.
ESOP Calculator
Model your real payout dilution, FMV, tax, and exit value in one place.
ESOP Guide
The full walkthrough—from what vesting actually earns you to what happens at exit.
Tax Guide
Perquisite tax, FMV rules, DPIIT deferment, and how ESOPs are actually taxed in India.
Selling ESOPs
Vested shares, an open window, or a buyback on the table? Understand how to sell and what you actually walk away with.
What we actually do with your ESOPs
Most ESOP conversations stop at "here's your grant letter." We start where that letter ends—because that's where the decisions that actually matter begin.
Value assessment
We model what your ESOPs could realistically be worth after dilution, liquidation preferences, and funding paths, not just the paper number.
Exercise & tax strategy
We map when to exercise based on your tax bracket, FMV changes, and whether DPIIT TDS deferment applies to your company, so you don't pay more tax than necessary.
Liquidity planning
Buybacks, secondary sales, IPO, each works differently. We help you understand which liquidity path is realistic for your company and how to prepare for it.
Plan design & compliance (for founders)
ESOP pool sizing, vesting structures, board approvals, and Companies Act compliance-set up so it doesn't become a problem later.
How it works
No lengthy onboarding. No generic questionnaires. We get to your specific situation fast.
Share your context
Tell us your role, your company's stage, your grant details, and what you're trying to figure out - a short conversation, not a form.
We build your picture
We model your specific scenario-dilution, tax, timing, exit paths-and show you what the numbers actually look like.
You decide with clarity
You get a clear recommendation, not a vague report. Exercise, wait, or walk away-with the reasoning laid out.
Decisions your grant letter doesn't answer
These are the questions that determine whether your ESOPs create wealth or only sit on paper. We help you answer them for your situation.
Your ESOP decisions deserve more than a spreadsheet
Whether you're evaluating an offer, sitting on vested options, or structuring a plan for your company to talk to someone who's mapped these outcomes before.
